Art With Heart Colour Creations - Summer Splash

Hi there

I'm joining the ladies from the Art With Heart team this week for the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Every week a colour from the Stampin' Up! Colour Collections is featured to inspire you to get crafty.

The focus colour this week is Summer Splash, which is one of the lovely new 2024-2026 In Colors. This colour is definitely a new favourite and a match made in heaven (IMHO) with Petunia Pop!

I have a simple fun fold card using the Summer Splash and Petunia Pop design from the Unbounded Beauty DSP. These are probably my favourite designs from the pack and the Petunia Pop stripe is the reverse side of the floral, which is both wonderful and terrible depending on the projects you are making, lol.  The card base is Summer Splash and just a standard metric size card, with the extra score line down the centre. 

On the right edge of the inside is a 'stopper' panel that neatly holds the card fold in place. I've added the Petunia Pop striped paper to a strip of Summer Splash card stock and popped it up on Dimensionals and the front panel locks under nicely to hold the fold in place, even when upright. I added the white flowers down the stopper panel, cropped with a die from the Flowers of Beauty Dies with a Petunia Pop Shimmer Gem in the centre of each. 

The embellishment sits on a platform that allows it to sit flat and pop out when folded. I heat embossed the birthday greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set in white and cropped it with one of the Spotlight On Nature Dies.  In the space at the top right I added leaves and foliage cropped with dies from the Unbounded Love Dies and finished with a white flower in the centre.

For the inside, there is a white writing panel and I've stamped the complimentary greeting in Petunia Pop ink and added a strip of the floral paper at the base.

Of course, the card folds flat to go into a standard C6 envelope.  The ladies loved making this fun fold card in my May classes.

A nifty fancy fold and your ratio of colours is just perfect.

[Michele Taylor]

The DSP is indeed a lovely design, by far the nicest in the pack, I agree. I love the way you have showcased the paper in this clever fun fold Judy. The white heat embossed greeting really finishes the card off beautifully.

[Vicki Boucher]

Your fancy fold card is so beautiful and I love the DSP you've used.

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

This is a really beautiful card, using some of my favourite new products, Judy. I agree with you, about those gorgeous papers, and the colour match - Summer Splash and Petunia Pop are just so beautiful together. I love this fold, and the addition of all the little white flowers.

[Rosa Leyden]

Lovely and vibrant card Judy and a fabulous fancy fold especially the little white flowers on the side panel. The white embossed sentiment really stands out on the Petunia Pop circle due cut.

[Kate Morgan]

Beautiful card, Judy. I totally agree with you, these colours are a match made in heaven. Love the addition of the lovely detailed dies, so pretty.

[Theresa Gerrard]

Such a lovely fun fold card Judy to feature Summer Splash and how well it coordinates with Petunia Pop. The stopper is really effective and the paper you have chosen is perfect.

[Tina Gillespie]

Oh, wow! Such a pretty card, and the dimension provided by the fancy fold is spectacular.

[Catherine Proctor]

Gorgeous card, Judy! I totally agree with you re Summer Splash and Petunia Pop being a perfect match. This fun fold may be simple but it is so effective.

[Andrea Sargent]

Oh Judy, I adore your fancy fold. It’s no doubt that it was loved by your class ladies. Your decoration of the wonderful DSP with white flowers and Summer Splash leaves is gorgeous. Love the fold xxx
